-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Ten everyday people will be recognized Thursday for their remarkable efforts to make the world a better place .

CNN 's Anderson Cooper will reveal this year 's top 10 CNN Heroes during the 8 a.m. hour of `` New Day . ''

All the top 10 Heroes were nominated by CNN 's global audience and profiled earlier this year on CNN . Each will receive $ 50,000 and be honored at `` CNN Heroes : An All-Star Tribute , '' a globally broadcast event that airs December 1 .

One of the top 10 will receive an additional $ 250,000 for their cause if the public chooses them as the CNN Hero of the Year .

Starting Thursday morning , you will be able to vote for your favorite Hero at CNNHeroes.com or from your mobile device . Voting ends November 17 .

Last year 's Hero of the Year was Pushpa Basnet , a Nepalese woman who supports children so they do n't have to live behind bars with their incarcerated parents .

She started a home in Kathmandu where children can receive education , food , medical care and a chance to live a more normal life .

`` These children have done nothing wrong . They are simply caught in something they do not understand , '' Basnet said . `` We want to work with the government to bring them all out of prison . And they deserve a better future . ''

Robin Lim , the Hero of the Year in 2011 , was recognized for helping thousands of poor Indonesians have a healthy pregnancy and birth .

`` I found that if you have a good idea and you do it with love , a lot of people want to help you , '' Lim said .

This is the seventh year CNN has conducted its annual search for CNN Heroes . In those years , the campaign has profiled more than 200 people on CNN and CNN.com .

This year 's tribute show will be held in New York and hosted by Cooper at the American Museum of Natural History .
